Scheduled execution of Test Connection on agents
An automated periodic execution of the Test Connection functionality on an agent for UNIFYMonitor to pick up and report on would give UNIFY early warning that a low level service problem exists.
[Bob's suggestion]

Hi Adrian,
This could be completed using the Scheduled Jobs feature of the UNIFYBroker logging engine. This gives access to the $components.AgentEngine
component, which has a method void Test(Guid agentId)
that could be used to execute tests. Alternatively you could call the REST API from a scheduled job to execute the task.

UI error adding a Multivalue Group transform in UNIFYConnect
When I attempt to add a Multivalue Group transform in UNIFYConnect MWIDemo instance the following error appears:
This appears after selecting the connector (AD User).

Hi Adrian,
This view was changed in relation to this ticket: https://voice.unifysolutions.net/communities/6/topics/4293-multivalue-group-transform-to-a-target-entity-with-a-null-source-field-breaks-reflection
I suspect the base patch has been applied to this environment, but not the web patch. This was all rolled up with UNIFYBroker 5.3.4 release.
I've messaged David to let him know that the web files may need to be refreshed for some environments. In the meantime, you can locate the source for the IIS site and find the file at \Areas\Extensibility\Views\MultivalueGroupTransformation\CreateOrEdit.cshtml - removing lines 63 - 67 inclusive which should resolve it in the meantime.

Priority Selection is disabled for Relevant Sliding Date Window on Join transform
When the 'Relevant' Sliding Date Window option is chosen the option for Priority Selection is no longer offered. I need to use Relevant to select the best set of Aurion employee placements (i.e. current, else future, else past) but then within the selected set I need to be able to pick an acting position (ActualPlacementType=NONSUBS) in preference to any substantive positions (ActualPlacementType=SUBS). This is crucial for correctly determining the correct current position (and therefore org structure and manager) for a person.

Hi Adrian,
This isn't a bug, but an intentional design decision from when the transforms were re-worked back in Broker 4. I'm not sure on the reason for the design decision, but currently the entity selection for the 'relevant' and 'priority' portions of the join transformation share the same step, which means they're unable to be run together.
This is something we've reworked in the upcoming UNIFYBroker 6 version, to allow a priority selection no matter the window being executed.
If necessary, we can have a discussion about bringing this capability back to 5.3, but the discussion would need to consider the remaining lifetime on the 5.3 product and the reasonable amount of dev and test effort required to bring this feature to the version. We're also currently in the middle of putting this feature through its paces, so there may be some unknown edge cases which a rushed port may miss.

One InsufficientAccessRights error writing to AD results in thousands of lines of error messages in the UNIFYBroker log
When a write to AD fails with an InsufficientAccessRights error UNIFYBroker writes an error log entry for every user in the current update batch, which usually numbers in the thousands. This is unwieldy, and due to log write throughput limitation in UNIFYConnect environments this results in degraded service logging functionality for several minutes at a time, while the logs are being written and new log entries cannot be viewed.
The AD LDAP export exception could be escalated as a single entity update failure, rather than a failure of an entire batch of entities.

Button to run a Scheduled Job
I'd like a button for each Scheduled Job that manually runs it when clicked.

Unicode support in the CSV connector
I have Unicode data in a locker field, sourced from a PowerShell connector, which looks file in the UNIFYBroker UI:
However when I export it to a CSV connector, the non-latin1 character doesn't appear to be correct:
(viewed using Notepad++)
Does the CSV connector support Unicode characters?

UNIFYBroker API cannot access the log file because it is being used by another process
In UNIFYConnect when attempting to retrieve a log file via the API it usually works fine but once I saw this error. This is a very low priority issue for me.

Entity Id search doesn't work
When I put an Entity Id into the search field on the Entity Search screen, UNIFYBroker doesn't search for the entity.
This is particularly problematical when searching by ID for one entity in a large partition, since the only way to find it is to order by Entity Id and browse result pages one by one, matching Entity Ids visually until the required entity is found. Even after selecting "Show 100 entries" for a customer with a large number of entities this takes many minutes and dozens of click-wait-for-page-load-look-and-scroll cycles. Sometimes this process needs to be repeated for many Entity Ids and it becomes frustrating and wastes time.

Entity Search filter OR option
When multiple filters are applied on an entity search the operator applied is by default an AND. A checkbox option(s) similar to say the MIM Portal entity search filtering options would be ideal, but at a minimum the ability to OR filters would be handy to assist test scenarios and troubleshooting.
